Présentation de l'éditeur
Preface, As in the case of many of the Old Masters, a biographer of Sir Henry Raeburn, when weighing the trustworthy material at his command, has no reason to complain of an enibarriu de richesse. All along the line of his predecessors, from first to last, an author iinds cause to suspect the true value of the facts so called for courtesys sake out of which the life of the great Scots painter has been built. His attention, accordingly, is cbiefiy absorbed by the cross-examination of witnesses, and, by dividing the actual from the probable, many colouring passages, besides Cunningham spretty romance of Raebum smarriage, come in the end to be rejected. The most important part of an artists biography I take to be that treating of his early environment, the tnrth of the art-instinct or genius, his artistic education, and his acquisition of a style. Of none of these is much known in the case of Raeburn. This has led some of his critics and biographers, more particularly R. A. M. Stevenson and Sir Walter A rmstrong, into a great deal rf assumption. They argue from probabilities, and their endeavour is both mistaken and hopeless.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and art of Sir Henry Raeburn, a Scottish painter who rose to prominence in the late 18th century, a time when Scotland was slowly emerging from a period of cultural and artistic stagnation. The author delves into the complexities of Raeburn's artistic development, challenging conventional assumptions about his influences and inspirations. Raeburn is portrayed not as a mere product of his time, but rather as a uniquely gifted individual who, while drawing upon the work of his predecessors, ultimately forged his own path. The book examines Raeburn's early life, his artistic training, and his rise to fame in Edinburgh, where he became the leading portrait painter of his day. It also explores the societal and cultural landscape of Scotland during Raeburn's lifetime, shedding light on the factors that both hindered and facilitated the growth of native artistic talent. Ultimately, the author reveals Raeburn as a complex and multifaceted figure, whose work transcended the confines of his time and continues to inspire generations of artists and art lovers today.
